Throne of Shadows

“Mortals these days. No respect. No cowering. Just straight to business. And what do you ask for? Wealth. Or for me to make some poor sod fall in love with you. In the old days, when someone summoned a demon, they wanted to start a war. Revenge. Plagues. All that good stuff. Everyone’s boring now.”

“Trust me, I’m exactly what you’re looking for,” Ria said with all the confidence she could muster. 

“You mortals all think you’re so special.” He sneered at her. “You seem like the love type. So, who is it? Jimmy the shop boy who’s in love with someone else? A rich duke who won’t even look your way?”

Ria stared him down, unimpressed. “Tomorrow I will fight my sister in mortal combat for the throne. I ask for your assistance in killing her, discretely, during the fight.”

This brought him up short. He paused for a moment, dark eyes looking over her. “There’s a fee.”

Oh 100% yesssss.

But wait, you say. What about Coffee Shop AU? Serial Killer AU? Buddy Cop AU? Gothic Romance, Jane Austen, Roomates, or College AUs?

Consider: multiple universes, baby. Because we have no canonical evidence (at least thus far) about just how many “mortal realms” exist in Ria and Peryn’s world (and beyond). 

Rules: Pick a character from your WIP, and have them answer these 15 questions, then tag 15 people!

I’ve chosen to interview Peryn from my Throne of Shadows series since he’ll have a more prominent part in the sequel I’m currently working on. 

1: What is your full name?

Just Peryn. I don’t remember my full birth name, and I don’t want to. 

2: What does your full name mean?

It means my parents didn’t want to call me “the baby” forever. 

3: What are your other names/nicknames?

I’ve used the alias Peryn Hollbrook, but most people usually just refer to me by, “Oh no, it’s him again.” 

4: What’s your gender?

Male. 

5: What’s your sexuality?

Yes, please. 

6: Where are you from?

A prairie wasteland, ugh. 

7: How old are you?

Nine-hundred-something. You lose track after a while. 

8: What is your magic form/what species are you?

I’m a demon, and no, you don’t get to ask how that happened.

9: What does your human form look like?

Tall, dashing, everybody’s type. Dare I say, devilishly handsome? 

10: What’s your aesthetic?

Chaotic Goth

11: Who’s your best friend?

Demons don’t have friends.

12: Would you ever get a piercing/tattoo?

Why mess with perfection?

13: When are you happiest?

Oh, anytime I get to use my powers for worthy causes. Wars. Plagues. Vengeance. All that good stuff. 

14: What’s your biggest secret?

Yeah, no. I’ll take it to your grave. 

15: What was your first impression of Ria?

Desperate. Stupid. Ordinary. Of course, then she cheated me out of 10,000 souls, bound me to the mortal plane, and dragged me into the middle of a political coup, so I guess we can all see how accurate that was. 

THE PAPERBACK IS HERE, AND IT IS BEAUTIFUL! 

Did I summon a demon and sell my soul for this? Maybe.
